Paxton Setou The Bard Of North West Poet Rhyme Royal

The Cantebury Tale

I HAD A DREAM ABOUT HOW THE WORLD WOULD END 
NOTHING THAT THE GREAT gods Of GREECE MAY DEFEND 
TRUMPETS FROM THE HEAVENS HAD WARNED US TO REPENT 
BUT THE LORD'S VOICE TO SINNERS IS SIMPLY LIGHTNING THAT MEN DETEST 

I LISTEN TO THE RAIN AS I WATCH IT POUR 
EACH DROP TELLS A TALE AS I OPEN THE DOOR 
LETTERS FROM THE ENGINEER OF LIFE AND TIME 
ENCRYPTED WITH NAMES YOURS AND MINE 

I AM NO PROPHET I MAY BE A LIAR 
BUT SUNNY DAYS AND CLEAR SKIES I DO DESIRE 
NO MAN CAN WALK OUT HIS STORY AND RETIRE 
AND IF MY WORDS CAUSE GRIEF TURN THE PAGE 
OR SET IT ON FIRE 

THIS IS NO POEM BUT A MILD TEMPERED LETTER 
THAT COMETH FROM A POET BUT YOU AND I KNOW BETTER... 
IF YOU BELIEVE IN JEHOVAH THEN SET HIGHER GOALS 
HAVE FAITH IN HEAVEN AND HOLD ON TO YOUR SOULS
